Valspar

Green Suede

5009-6

Green Suede is a saturated deep teal-green, darker and sharper than most olive paints. LRV 11 is genuinely dark. It can look excellent on a front door, wet bar, or powder room vanity where contrast is planned.

Full rooms need several light sources and a sheen that can handle touch. The blue-green base pairs well with pale stone. Warm brass brings richness, but too much cream nearby can make it look heavier.

Green Suede in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
